[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with that picture?   Give me a break.  [/quote]

There's nothing wrong with the picture, just like there is nothing wrong with a casual wedding.  That said, some teachers want a more formal look, just like some brides want a black tie wedding.  It's a choice that the teachers made.  You can opt not to honor the request just like you can choose to go to a wedding in less formal clothes when black tie is requested.

But the teachers made a request and considering all that they do to care for your child throughout the school year, It's a nice gesture to h9 9r their request.[/quote]

I highly doubt any teachers are losing sleep, or frankly give a damn, if you follow the dress code.[/quote]

Teacher here.  [b]We really don't care if you send your kid in black pants or not.[/b]  But you're the one who sends their kid in pj's "because that's what he wanted to wear,"  in flip flops even though we asked you not to (and then gets pissed when he injures his toe),  with toys that he won't keep in his cubby, therefore causing a major ruckus, etc etc etc.  Even though we love your kid, we'll be glad to see the back of YOU.

Good luck in Kindergarten where there are even more requests.[/quote]

I hope you aren't really a teacher since you have some serious hostility towards families in your school.  I didn't say anything about not following the dress code.  I simply said I didn't think teachers would care one way or another -- something you explicitly agreed with.

Notwithstanding you agreeing with the only point I made in my post, you decided to go off on a rant about how I must be a parent that flippantly breaks rules and that you can't wait to get rid of me.  Maybe have a glass of wine and work on your anger issues.[/quote]

I don't think PP was talking about you.  I think they were agreeing with you and talking about OP.  Teachers all know the type of parent OP is and we may have a smile on our face but it's frustrating to deal with them.[/quote]

Fair enough, but I still think some of the anger is misplaced.  I understand being annoyed if a parent didn't follow rules on shoes (because it creates a safety issue) and toys (because it creates a disturbance in the class) but why is it the teacher's business if a kid wears PJs, which can often be barely distinguishable from regular clothes for little kids?  Similarly, I wouldn't assume that a parent who didn't go buy the exact clothes requested for graduation would necessarily flought rules that actually impact safety and classroom decorum.[/quote]
